CLG opened to a rough start, unprepared for Najin's aggression, HotshotGG (Olaf) gave up two early kills, giving Najin the early lead. As the game progressed, Najin Sword used their trademark aggression to snowball their lead, getting kill after kill. Unfortunately, CLG was completely unable to respond. No matter what they did, the lead simply grew larger. Eventually, Najin was able to freely split push, taking down towers, and edging closer to the CLG nexus. Out of complete desperation, CLG tried to rush baron. However, Najin, continuing their meticulous play, was able to react in time, forcing a retreat. Najin then turned this desperation move in their favor, cutting off CLG in their own jungle and taking them down under tower, acing CLG and forcing the surrender for a quick 22 minute end to the first match.

The game opened with another first blood by Najin, riding the momentum from game one. However, this time, CLG was prepared to fight back. Despite losing the early lead, coming into the mid game, CLG was able to pull back their deficit, and equalize the gold. However, in a display of superior understanding of game mechanics, Najin completely out farmed CLG, quickly pulling ahead in gold, despite the close kill score. The decisive moment happened around the baron pit. MaKNooN (Malphite) and Watch (Nocturne) moved to gank HotshotGG (Shen) was pushing top. Seeing the Najin approach, Hotshot ducked into a nearby bush and then juked towards Najin's tower and into the jungle. Immediately, the rest of CLG moved in to engage, as did Najin. However the ensuing team fight when horribly wrong for CLG. Najin was able to zone and split up CLG with a well placed Wall of Pain. As soon as this happened, MaKNooN, and Watch immediately jumped on Doublelift, almost immediately taking him out of the fight. CLG immediately retreated, however a Karthus ult from SSONG spelled doom for CLG, losing three members and giving Najin an uncontested baron. With baron, Najin was able to take objectives with even more aggression, bulldozing their way through CLG's turrets. In a final team fight around the 29th minute, Najin aced CLG in their own base and forced the surrender, giving Najin the series.

Afterthoughts

This series was extremely one sided, rather than say CLG was out played, it seemed to me that they were completely out classed. CLG was able to retaliate a little in game two, but in both games Najin seemed to simply brush off any form of aggression shown by CLG. CLG was just unable to respond to Najin aggression and cracked under the pressure, forcing themselves into desperate situations which didn't pay off.

MVP

MaKNooN clearly takes the MVP title for this match. He fearlessly led his team, helping to pick up kills and snowball their lead. He clearly showed why Najin Sword is the master of aggression.
